Spaces designed
around real life

Good design isn't about filling a room — it's about understanding how someone actually wants to live in it.

Role
Senior Interior Designer
Tools
AutoCAD, SketchUp, Enscape
A complete home interior in a warm grey-and-gold palette, covering the kitchen, master bedroom, wardrobes and living areas. The brief called for a design that felt light and elegant while still delivering the heavy storage a family home needs — so every room was planned around hidden, well-organised storage first, then finished with a calm, cohesive material palette across the home.
The challenge
Fit generous, family-sized storage into the kitchen and bedrooms without the home feeling heavy or cluttered — while keeping the grey-and-gold material palette consistent across every room.
My solution
Every unit was planned first as a detailed CAD elevation — filler panels, tandem drawers, pull-down accessories and profile lighting all mapped out before a single render was made. Once the layout was locked, SketchUp and Enscape renders were used to walk the client through material, finish and lighting choices, and the final drawings were handed over to the execution team for a smooth, on-time installation.
Designer's note
This is one of my favourite kinds of brief: a client who wanted their storage to disappear into the design rather than dominate it. Getting the CAD elevations right before rendering meant there were no surprises for the execution team on-site.

Role
Interior Designer
Tools
SketchUp, V-Ray, AutoCAD
A warm, natural-material home built around the Japandi idea of calm minimalism — travertine and timber surfaces, soft rattan lighting, and quiet, uncluttered rooms. The brief covered the entire home: foyer, living room, kitchen, and every bedroom including a dedicated teen's room, each tuned to its own mood while staying part of one coherent material story.
The challenge
Carry one warm, natural material language across an entire home — foyer to bedrooms — without the rooms feeling repetitive, while still giving the teenager's room its own distinct personality.
My solution
Travertine, oak veneer and rattan were repeated throughout as the shared thread, while lighting and accent colour shifted room to room to keep each space feeling distinct — from the backlit stone foyer wall to a racing-themed feature wall in the teen's bedroom. Renders were built in SketchUp and V-Ray so the client could preview the natural material textures accurately before any material was ordered.
Designer's note
Japandi lives or dies on restraint — it was tempting to add more, but the calmest rooms here are the ones where I said no to an extra material. The teen's racing-themed room was the fun exception where I let the palette get playful.

Role
Interior Designer
Tools
SketchUp, V-Ray, IMOS
A running collection of modular kitchen, crockery unit and living room designs developed across several residential projects — from soft sage-green L-shaped kitchens with brass trims to dark walnut-and-marble galley layouts. Each kitchen was taken from concept render through to a fully dimensioned elevation set covering shutters, tandem units, magic corners and lighting.
The challenge
Every kitchen brief is different — different budgets, different cooking habits, different families — so no single layout or finish could simply be reused from project to project.
My solution
Each kitchen starts the same way regardless of style: a detailed 2D plan and elevation set worked out with the client's storage priorities first — cooking style, appliance placement, corner units — then developed into a photorealistic SketchUp and V-Ray render so the final finish, colour and hardware could be approved before production began.
Designer's note
The kitchen is the room I get asked the most detailed questions about, and I love that — it means the client is thinking about how they'll actually cook and live in it, not just how it will photograph.

Role
Design & site coordination
Focus
Production drawings to handover
A look past the renders, at the finished rooms themselves — living rooms, kitchens, wardrobes, a home office and a pooja unit, all photographed after installation. This is the part of the job that matters most to me: making sure what gets built on-site matches what the client approved on screen.
The challenge
A beautiful render means nothing if the site team can't build it exactly as drawn — the real challenge is in the handover between design and execution, not the design itself.
My solution
Complete, dimensioned production drawings were handed to site managers alongside the material and hardware specification for every unit, and I stayed involved through regular site visits — coordinating with project managers and installation teams — right up to the final handover.
Designer's note
Walking into a finished home and seeing it match the render, drawer by drawer, is still the most satisfying part of this job — it's proof the whole process, from first sketch to final fitting, actually worked.

How I work
Every project starts with a conversation, not a mood board. I sit down with the client to understand their budget, how they actually use each room day to day, and only then move to space planning — so the design solves real problems, not just looks good in a render.
Nothing goes to site without a dimensioned CAD elevation first — every shutter, drawer and profile light mapped out. It's the step that turns a nice render into a home that actually gets built right, on time, the first time.
